Hello everyone from Le Grand Hotel in Strasbourg France where we are about to embark on another tandem bike tour. This time we are not in Italy – crazy right? We start here and go clockwise in a loop which includes the black forest, the Danube, Lake Konstanz, follows the Rhine to Basel, and then tours Alsace Lorraine on the way back to Strasbourg. Phew!

Today we flew Westjet’s 787 Dreamliner direct to Paris and then hopped on the high speed train (TGV) to arrive 200m from our hotel. This is a very good thing when you are lugging 32kg of bike in a box plus everything that goes with it. It was a nice flight on the new aircraft with those sexy slender carbon fibre wings waving at the moon.


We went for a walk through the maze of pedestrian streets which begin right by our hotel. We had to try and stay awake besides needing some supper and wanting to see a bit of Strasbourg.
The streets were busy with tourists and locals out for their evening stroll, as well as countless (not kidding) bike meal delivery dudes zipping around the pedestrians. We ate at a crêperie, one of our go to favourite type of restaurants. Hmm, will have to actually cycle in Brittany some day… Here are a few of the things we saw.





Have a lovely trip. The pictures looks amazing. We are looking forward to seeing you soon:-)
